Commissioned card for a train enthusiast!

Hi Folks

This is a card I have made for a friend to give to her husband who is a train enthusiast (that's putting it mildly!!).  The image is from Just Inklined and although I at first thought it would be a nightmare to colour, I thoroughly enjoyed doing it and feel reasonably proud of the finished card.  I used paper from my stash, a computer generated message and some Candi.  Hope you like it.


Mother's Day Cards

Hi Everyone!

Although I didn't get to see either of my beautiful daughters yesterday, they made sure I had a lovely Mother's Day and didn't forget their Grandmother either.  She particularly loved the card I made for her this year so here is a picture of it.  Hope you like it.

Donemark Craft Club Challenge - Wk 9 White Wedding

Hi Everyone!

I'm working hard to get this blog up to date but this will be the last post for today.  I love wedding cards and really enjoyed making this one.  I printed the sentiment onto a piece of A4 card (having worked out the spacing on a piece of scrap paper first) and then embossed the card with the Die'sire Embossalicious Regency Frame embossing folder.  I added the ribbon to match the card layer beneath and then added the die cut hearts (the top heart was embossed with the Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl folder).  I added the bow and pearls to finish the card off.  Hope you like it.


Donemark Craft Club Challenge - Wk 8 Feeling the Christmas blues

Hi Everyone!

It's Christmas again!  Both these cards were completed quickly and easily which has got to be a good thing.  I used the Die'sire "Snowy Village" and Memory Box "Snowflake Border" dies for the first card and for the second I used the Cuttlebug "Ice Crystal" die and "Snowflakes" embossing folder.  Hope you like them.

Donemark Craft Group Challenge - Wk 7 Female card with 3 or more embellishments

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to make a card using a dress template which I've used before for my niece's 17th birthday card. The dress was cut out from some of my stash card and I tied some ribbon around the waist before attaching it to a hanger made from some coloured wire.  I added two corner die cuts embellished with pearls and then added the stamped sentiment on a tag.  Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of this card (it can be seen on the Donemark Craft Club facebook site) but below is my niece's card on which it is based. 

Hope you like it.


Donemark Craft Group Challenge - Wk 6 New home shaped card

Hi Folks!

This week I got my inspiration from a card I saw on Pinterest by "luv2scrapnmakecards.blogspot".  I'm very happy with how it turned out and hope you like it.
